Fall Door Decoration Ideas
Happy Weekend, friends! I’m Amy, the crafty girly behind My 3 Monsters. I am super excited to be sharing a little project here today. {Thanks Kim!}
I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for it to finally be fall. The long, hot Arizona summer has felt extra-brutal this year and I am dying to pack up my flip flops and pull out my sweaters. It will be a little while yet before I can dress for fall, but I can start sneaking some fall touches into my home decor and that’s exactly what I plan to do, starting with this Gilded Pine Cone Wreath.
I found this great square pine cone wreath at Target several years ago. It seems like every year when I pull it out of storage it has lost a few more pine cones and it was looking like its best days were behind it. I’ve seen very similar sad-looking wreaths at the thrift store, too. I love to reinvent things and save them from the trash heap so I knew I had to give it a shot.
To begin, I filled in all the holes from pine cones missing around the wreath by pulling off all the pine cones in one corner and hot gluing them into the the gaps. If you don’t already have a pine cone wreath to work on, you could begin by hot gluing pine cones onto a wreath form, leaving a small section uncovered to add rosettes. Once I had all the pine cones where I wanted them I gave it a light coat of gold spray paint.
I love the look of the gilded pinecones and the non-traditional colors for fall. It makes it a perfect transition from end-of-summer into real autumn decor.
If you enjoyed this project, I hope you’ll stop by My 3 Monsters for lots more easy and affordable crafts, DIY projects, home decor and recipes!
